We’re big fans of the “no email during the holidays” rule.) For our last blog of the year, we’re excited to share the Collective Impact Forum’s most popular reads and resources for 2015.

Thank you for being a part of the growing Forum community (now 14,000 strong!), and we wish you a very Happy New Year. We’ll see you in 2016!
